The bakers will have to make six individual mini cheesecakes for the two and a quarter hour signature, which provides them much leeway to place their own spin on the final product. They are moving to social media for the two and a quarter hour technical in each asked to make half a dozen Dubai chocolate cookies, which started its life online as a chocolate bar but which has morphed into a baked good for this purpose. The cookie has a good number of a different textures, the most unique being the crunch provided by the fried kataifi pastry, which of course they have to make from scratch, and which is incorporated into the creamy pistachio paste-tahini filling. And they are doing a two for one in each making a cake wrapped cake for the four and a quarter hour showstopper. The premise is that the outer cake layer will be imprinted with a design that will be the exterior, it which must be thin and flexible enough to mold but not tear or crack and still be sturdy enough to be a structural element.
